Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Due to uncertainty, the Ark informed his mentor, Professor Deligne, of the invitation from the Maple Society. After listening to the Ark, the old man's pen stopped and looked up at the Ark.

“Are you going to Maple House? ”

“Thinking about it," the Ark thought about it and said, "Actually, I prefer to hold this presentation in Princeton. ”

Germany is too far away.

He just returned from a business trip to Columbia University, and for a while he didn't want to go away anymore.

After thinking about it, Deligne unexpectedly did not agree with him on the ark: “Principal Isgrub will certainly be happy to hear you say this and will certainly be willing to go to great lengths to help you, but I do not recommend you to do so. ”

Ark: “Why? ”

“It's like a monastery, suitable for practice, but not for sermons. Beyond the Institute of Higher Studies, there is a wider world,” Put down the pen in your hand, Deligne looks at his former students and continues, "My advice is that you should go out more when you're young. Whatever you are researching, more interaction with scholars in the same field is far more helpful than closing the door to persecute yourself. ”

In Deligne's eyes, the way in which ark drilling works is indeed no different from “persecuting oneself”.

The Ark gave a helpless look and shrugged: "Okay, I'll give your advice some serious consideration. ”

“I hope you will. Besides, when you get over there, say hello to that old guy from Faltines for me.” Speaking of the name of an old friend, Deligne had a rare smile on his serious face, "he left Princeton for more than twenty years and wondered if his arrogant illness had healed. ”

Looking back on the edge of the last time I was in Stockholm with the old man, the look on the ark suddenly became a little subtle.

Although it is unclear what Professor Fartings looked like when he was still at Princeton Institute of Higher Studies 20 years ago.

But I don't think it's cured...

After leaving Professor Deligne's office, the Ark returned to its own office.

Sitting in front of the computer, he pondered for a moment and edited an e-mail, responding to an invitation from the Maple Society Institute of Condensed Physics by following the e-mail address left on the written letter.

Eventually he decided to go to Germany.

Now that the Maple Society has promised in its invitation to cover all of his expenses during his visit to Germany, it would be nice to travel for a walk as a public expense.

However, it is necessary to prepare the PPT for the report as soon as possible...

Worked all day, finally it was dinner time.

The ark stretched a lazy waist and saved the unfinished PPT from the office chair.

After returning at night, there was something special to do, and he planned to finish his work earlier today, telling Vera to go to the dining area on the ground floor alone without bringing herself a bacon sandwich for a while.

Coincidentally, just as the ark was preparing to start eating, it met Edward Witten, who had just finished eating.

“Didn't you go to Ivy Club for dinner?” Sitting across from the ark with a plate, the talkative Jewish professor said in a chitchat, "During your exchange visit to Columbia University, there was a new chef. ”

“Every time I plan to go, I end up sitting here because I'm too lazy to walk," he said with a helpless expression, as the ark stirred the sauce on the macaroni with a fork.

“Ha ha, so am I. In fact, when I got used to it, I found that the food at the Institute of Higher Studies was delicious.” Edward Witten laughed, "If it wasn't for the fact that they traded my membership for a lifetime, I'd probably have quit. ”

“A lifetime member? Don't you have to pay your dues?” It was also the first time I heard about it, and the Ark looked at Witten unexpectedly and asked.

“Of course not, but you're almost there, and no club is going to let a Fields or Nobel laureate pay their dues, which is the historical tradition of Ivy Club," stopped for a moment, and Witten suddenly remembered something and continued, “Speaking of which, did you get an invitation from IMU? ”

IMU is the abbreviation for the International Union of Mathematicians, and Witten's letter of invitation is naturally an invitation to report on the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Nodded, the ark replied: "Yes, they invited me to a 60-minute briefing. ”

Edward Witten was not surprised that the Ark was invited.

It would be strange not to receive an invitation as the strongest candidate for the Fields Prize.

“Sixty minutes is not a short time. Do you have any thoughts on what to do in the report? ”

Ark: “If it's not an accident, it's a Cape Valley guess. ”

“No accident? What do you mean, no accident?” Edward Witten looked at the ark somewhat bewildered and continued with interest, "What if something happened? ”

The Ark laughed and answered the question with a relaxed tone.

“Nature, too, is a Cape Valley conjecture. ”

The difference is simply who will do the job.

After Goldbach took off the pearl on this crown, of all the propositions in the mathematics of additivity, there were no more propositions to interest the ark.

Rather than devoting a limited amount of time to solving an isolated problem, the Ark would have preferred to see someone using his theoretical tools to create new theories or to prove new theories on that basis.

It is precisely for this reason that at the beginning of the application for the Cape Valley Guess Question, the Ark decided to entrust the subject to its own students and to provide only methodological and directional guidance and advice.

Of course, if his students can't finish, he will eventually consider doing it himself.

However, the Ark is quite optimistic about its students' abilities.

Especially Vera, whose mathematical gift is the best of all the scholars under 25 he has ever met.

Although it lacks creativity, it is surprisingly strong in analytical skills and logical thinking. A lot of things, if taught her over and over, she not only remembers them quickly, but also quickly applies them to solving real problems.

Believe that, with the right guidance, she has not tried to become a Schultz scholar at one level.

At least in terms of talent, she even won an IMO gold medal a year earlier than Schultz...

……

After dinner, the ark did not go home immediately after leaving the Institute of Higher Studies, but jogged along Lake Carnegie.

As a researcher, better liver explosion in the study is possible only if you have a healthy body.

Since becoming a professor, the Ark has gained a deeper and deeper sense of this.

After sweating and taking a shower at home, the ark lay in bed refreshingly, closed its eyes and silenced the “system”, sinking consciousness into the system space.

The last time he completed his assignment, he only received a reward for the assignment, and the new assignment had not been touched.

Now that the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure has been completed, there is plenty of time for the artillery boat to finish the work at hand.

It's also time to see what kind of choice the system will give him.
